The package matched the CJ-5 Golden Eagle: eagle decal, gold-painted 15 by 8 steel wheels with Goodyear Tracker A-T tyres, tan Levi’s soft top and seat covers, a roll bar and a swing-out spare carrier, with the 304 V8 optional. The Golden Hawk of 1980 was a short-lived variant with a different decal.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
